Outdoor Improvements Before Listing

Image
If you’re getting ready to list your home, consider the exterior appearance of your home and property. There are some inexpensive improvements you can make to your outdoor space to make your property more appealing to a potential buyer.  The easiest one is also the one that’s the most logical. A clean and well-maintained exterior will increase the value of your home. Take a walk around your property and take notes. Notice if you see flaking paint or dirty siding on your home. If you do, fix that first. Also take a good hard look at your lawn. If the grass is overgrown, cut it. If you see bare patches on the lawn, plant some grass seed right away. If you have flowerbeds, make sure they are weeded and tidy.

Avoid Reverse Mortgage Scams

Image
If you’re a homeowner over age 62, you may be thinking about a reverse mortgage. This is a loan that allows older homeowners to use equity in their homes.   As a result of the uncertainty in the economy since the pandemic hit in 2020, there have been scammers that target older homeowners through reverse mortgage schemes. Unlike a traditional mortgage, a reverse mortgage does not have a monthly mortgage payment. The loan is usually repaid when the borrower sells or no longer lives in the home. With a reverse mortgage scam, a homeowner may often not realize that they have been scammed until the loan money is already gone.  Play it safe and talk to an expert before considering a reverse mortgage. You can speak to a HUD reverse mortgage counselor at anytime at 800-569-4287. To learn more about a reverse mortgage and how it works, visit  www.consumerfinance.gov/reversemortgage .
